This is a Ninja Trick — a class feature gained through that class's own talent choices, not a feat you pick through normal feat selection.
A ninja with this trick knows how to use a scarf, usually with a coin or large knot, as a lethal garrote. The ninja takes no penalties when using a scarf as an improvised garrote. In addition, as a free action when attempting a grapple combat maneuver check, the ninja can spend 1 ki point to gain the constrict special attack on that maneuver with damage equal to half the ninja's sneak attack dice (minimum 1d6).
